Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Grand Ledge, MI.

Addiction rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
